Carrying a Mortgage into Retirement:

M

Repay or Invest?

any people imagine their retirement
years to be relaxed and stress-free, as
they should be. You’ll have much more time
for traveling, playing golf or anything else you
didn’t have time to do while focusing on your
career. You’re already saving for retirement,
but what about your mortgage? If your
home-financing program will extend into your
retirement, would it benefit you more to pay
it off before you trade your pinstripe suit for a
swimsuit and Hawaiian shirt? Or would holding
off and investing your funds be the better
financial decision? Everyone’s circumstances
are different, and you should certainly seek the
advice of your financial planner, accountant,
mortgage professional and anyone else who
may assist with your finances, but here are
some basics to get you started on deciding
what to do with your home loan as you head
toward retirement.

Before You Decide
Before you decide whether or not to repay your
mortgage prior to retirement, there are some
things that need to be taken into consideration.
Determine whether you’re on track for your
retirement savings goals, if you have enough
coverage for your insurance needs and whether
you’ve established an emergency fund. Then
take a look at the terms of your mortgage.
While adjustable-rate mortgages offer lower
initial payments, homebuyers often plan
their finances based on the assumption
their mortgage payments will stay the same.
A fixed-rate home loan provides a steady
interest rate, and can be refinanced should
rates fall dramatically. This can help you plan
more accurately when you’d like to have your
mortgage paid off. You’ll also need to know
whether your home-financing program has a

prepayment penalty so you can determine if
the fees charged for paying early are worth
the cost.
Two Sides to the Coin
There are many arguments for both sides of
the issue. Obviously, obtaining full ownership of
your home offers peace of mind and relief from
monthly payments. But depending on your
individual circumstances, there is money to be
saved and made by paying your mortgage
early or by allowing your home loan to extend
into retirement.
Take note of your loan agreement’s amortization
schedule. Your mortgage company disclosed
up front how much you will pay over the life
of your loan, and including your interest, it will
likely be more than twice the purchase price of
your home. Depending on how early you are

their preferred combination of risk and return
and still pay off their mortgage.
Paying off Your Mortgage Made Easy
If you do decide to pay your mortgage early,
a popular and easy way to do so is to include
an extra sum in your monthly payment and
earmark it toward reduction of your principal. By
some estimates, an extra mortgage payment
each year can reduce the life of a loan by six
years. There are many online calculators to help
you determine how much interest you can save
and by how much time you can cut your loan.

willing and able to pay it off, you could save a
significant amount of money.

to use the taxable accounts to repay your
mortgage before dipping into your 401(k) or IRA.

Paying off your home loan can allow for tax
flexibility in your golden years. Your marginal tax
rate will be minimized, and if you own your own
home, you won’t be paying taxes on that either.
You likely have a tax-deferred retirement plan,
and if you are taking more income to make
debt payments, your tax burden will increase.

As illustrated in the chart, you should repay your
mortgage if your after-tax return on risk-free
assets such as insured cash deposits and U.S.
Treasuries is less than your after-tax mortgage
interest rate, and to hold off if not.

On the other hand, using money that could go
toward extra mortgage payments could be
contributed to your workplace retirement plan.
Employers often match 50 to 100 percent of
your contributions on up to 6 percent of your
pay. This is essentially a guaranteed return on
your investment.
Investing money is another alternative.
According to market researcher Ibbotson
Associates, a combination of 60 percent stocks,
30 percent bonds and 10 percent cash would
earn an average of more than 8 percent per
year in most 20- to 30-year periods, based on
historical returns.
Other debt is also an issue. If you have
additional debt, it is most likely accruing at a
higher interest rate than what you are paying
on your home loan. It’s much better to pay off
debt with nondeductible interest before you
jump ahead on your mortgage payments.

If you are considering taking the riskier route
and investing your available cash in stocks
instead of repaying your mortgage, you are
essentially betting with borrowed money. Few
people are willing to take that risk. However,
Webb examined two scenarios in which
households invested in a mix of stocks and
bonds. Scenario 1 used 50 percent of their
available cash to pay off their mortgage,
and then divided the remaining half evenly
between stocks and bonds. Scenario 2 did not
pay off their mortgage, but instead invested
25 percent of their available cash in stocks
and 75 percent in bonds. He determined
that assuming the mortgage interest rate
and the return on the bonds were similar, the
two situations were identical. Because both
scenarios had the same amount invested in
stocks and Scenario 2 spent two-thirds of their
return on their bonds toward their mortgage
payments, they both made the same amount
of money. Therefore, Scenario 2 could attain

Another way to pay your loan off early is to
send any raises and bonuses you receive
as your career advances directly to your
mortgage company. If you were doing well
enough without them, you won’t miss it too
much when you put it to good use. Also, with
your contribution to the Social Security payroll
tax dropping from 6.2 to 4.2 percent for 2011,
you could consider putting that extra money
toward your mortgage.
Enjoy Yourself!
Of course, only you can determine what is
best for you. Your financial planner and other
professionals can provide expert guidance to
ensure your golden years are as idyllic as you
envision, but this information should put you on
the right track to making an educated decision.
Regardless of what you choose, enjoy your
retirement. After working so hard your whole
life, you deserve a break!

Repaying vs. Investing
In his brief titled “Should You Carry a Mortgage
into Retirement?” research economist Anthony
Webb of the Center for Retirement Research
at Boston College discussed a few possibilities
for the retired person to make the most of their
finances. First, if you hold assets in taxable and
tax-deferred accounts, it makes the most sense

n some respects having a wealthy foreign
national as a home buyer is just like having
any other wealthy client. There are no visa
requirements for a person to buy a home in the
United States, so a foreign national who enters
as a tourist is perfectly within his/her rights to
purchase a home or two in the United States.
However, there are certain things that every
foreign national should be aware of when
purchasing a home in the U.S.
Whether a person enters the U.S. under the
visa waiver program (some nationalities, for
example Canadians, do not require a visa
to enter the U.S.) or with a tourist visa, there
are key limitations to their status in the U.S.
While a tourist visa allows a person to visit the
U.S. for either business or pleasure (shopping,
sightseeing, etc.), it does not allow them to
engage in activities that may indicate that
they have long-term intent to stay in the U.S.

our government views foreign visitors. The
Department of State’s Consular Officers who
review applications for tourist visas do so with
the assumption that everyone who is applying
to visit the United States wants to live here.
Enrolling your kids at the local elementary
school is pretty strong evidence that even
though you came in as a tourist you have
long term plans to stay in the U.S., which won’t
look good once a perceptive immigration or
Department of State official takes notice.

What not do in the U.S. as a Foreign National…
So your client has purchased a home in the
U.S. and as a home buyer he or she will be
required to pay all of the requisite taxes to
the requisite entities, which invariably include
school districts. Your client may understandably
believe that since they are contributing to the
tax base for the local school district they can
enroll their children in school. Do not look to the
school districts for guidance; they will admit any
school age child that comes their way. But for
immigration purposes this is a big no-no.

What to do in the U.S. as a Foreign National…
Depending on their individual circumstances,
there may be several options available for
individuals who wish to live and work in the United
States. The foreign national may qualify for a nonimmigrant visa which would allow him/her to live
and work in the United States; these visas include
dependent visas for qualifying family members.
Exactly which type of visa often depends on the
country of origin or nationality of the individual
foreign national. For example, Mexican Nationals
have options based on NAFTA. These include
trade visas (E-1), investment visas (E-2) and visas
for professionals (TN); other countries have similar
visas (except for the TN) based upon individual
treaties with the United States. Generally,
depending on individual circumstances, foreign
nationals may potentially qualify for a specialized
knowledge visa (H-1B), intra-company transfer
for managers or executives (L-1A) or essential
employee intra-company transfer (L-1B) or even
a student visa (F-1).

Just as a foreign national who is visiting as
a tourist cannot work for a company in the
United States, they cannot enroll their children
in public schools. This has something to do
with a concept that is the cornerstone of how

Foreign nationals with long-term interest in
immigrating to the United States must always
utilize a dual strategy; one which utilizes both
short term and long term planning. In the short
term they must have a strategy for living and

10

working in the United States; they must have a
non-immigrant visa that allows then to live and
work in the U.S. In the long term they must have a
way to become a permanent resident; there are
different paths to permanent residency; most of
which require that a company or immediate
relative to petition for the foreign national.
There is a process, EB-5 by which the foreign
national can invest $500,000 or $1,000,000 and
become a permanent resident; unfortunately
that $1,000,000 home that has been purchased
is not a qualifying investment for purposes of the
EB-5 permanent residency process.
Navigating Immigration’s Alphabet Soup
It is impossible to fully understand the nuances
of immigration law by simply reading a brief
article. The good news is that, as a real estate
professional, it is not required to be equipped
with immigration legal knowledge. As a realtor
working with a foreign national it is not your job
to advise clients regarding immigration issues,
but you are in many ways the client’s conduit to
living in the United States. By directing a client
towards a licensed attorney, whose primary
practice is immigration law, you will provide
the kind of value added service that will have
a positive effect on your clients experience
in the United States. Happy clients increase
the incidence of referrals and referrals mean
success in any language.

Updated Classic
Houston, Texas
Renowned Houston architect John Staub was famous for architectural diversity. His stunning homes ranged from medieval châteaux to classic
Georgian and Greek Revival structures with a twist Staub liked to call “Latin Colonial.” This classic River Oaks home, completed in 1933, is rendered
in the Tudor/Jacobean transition style and exhibits Staub’s signature understatement and control. According to Howard Barnstone in his book, The
Architecture of John F. Staub, this house was inspired by Montacute House, a manor Staub had seen in Kent in 1929. As with many of his houses with
the luxury of expansive grounds, Staub reversed the front and rear elevations to insure private arrivals, and lengthened the approach with a curving
sweep of drive around the north elevation. A two-story addition was completed by noted architect P. M. Frost in the 1970s which greatly expanded
the interior space while retaining the home’s iconic, street-side façade. Five bedrooms, four and one half baths, 4-car detached garage. House –
7,706 square feet (HCAD). Lot – 71,540 square feet (HCAD). $7,750,000
